A female Sweden age 41-50, dragonette writes:

There must surely be a lot of people in this world who like each other and shyly glance at one another and never become a couple because both are too shy to ask each other out. As a girl, it's very easy to hide behind the idea that the man should ask the woman out on the first date.

I find the widespread idea that the man should take the initiative quite offensive. Whether you're a man or a woman it's always nerve wrecking to ask someone out on a first date. Why should men be the only ones to suffer the fear of a possible rejection?

So to all the girls, women and chicks out there I would like to say the following: The possibility of a relationship is like a swedish carton of milk in your fridge; it has an expiration date that is less than a week away. If you take the chance in asking the guy out, then you have taken destiny into your own hands, so don't wait for the charming knight on the white horse to do the whole job for you as he may be too chicken.

This is a nice Idea and I wish thats the way things where but I disagree,

I dont think Girls should ask Men out shyness wouldent and doesent keep wild horses away if he really likes you,I've got tons of shy guy-mates but there never afraid to go for who they really like,

I think we go though enough man pain then adding to it by chacing Men who dont really want us,

because example If He did want you why would you be having this debate?

he'd be there right now trying to get your number, If you miss-read signals he may be flatterd by the attention and date you but he wont really be that into you when he is you know, you just know and you dont have to make much of an effort or Jump though hoops to get his attention My views based on experience
